Comment:A word to the wise, before you take on a prescription for Azasite 2.5ML. I am using this medication for Blepharitis. I paid $122.50 (twice) for 2.5 ML, for these eye drops. Since my experience with Azithromycin, as an antibiotic has always been positive, I expected good things from this medication, as opposed to the extreme burning, that seems to continue for a life-time, not to mention now I realize why my arms are all broken out with contact dermatitis. For the amount of money one has to pay for these drops, the least the Merck Company could do is subsidize the cost of the Aveeno Eczema Therapy Moisturizing Cream; I had to buy for the treatment for my arms. (And I thought it was from stress) It’s also mid-July as I write this in New York City, so the heat and humidity, are at a maximum. I am halfway through my treatment, and now wonder if it’s worth, continuing in lieu of the side effects on my arms! I agree with every other review I have read so far. My symptoms from the Blepharitis are quite intact. The improvement factor is still at absolute zero. Hide Full Comment

Comment:Prescribed to treat blocked oil glands. Way too expensive! For the $120 price without insurance (or, if like me you have a high deductible HSA plan) you could literally buy an equal amount of gold, by weight. And, I agree with other posts regarding not enough medication to last the whole month; however, if you review the dosage and administration guidelines on the Merck website, Azasite is intended to be prescribed for a period of only 7 days. Your beef is with your doctor, who should be reported. I called Merck to tell them about it and they took my doctors information to HUNT HIM DOWN! or so they told me. They will likely just give him some more free samples and kickbacks for prescribing Azasite for non-FDA approved uses. Stuff does not work to unclog oil ducts. Buy gold instead.Hide Full Comment

Comment: I have had to pay$94 for these drops and there was only 4 drops in the 2.5ML bottle. 2.5 ML should equal 60 drops. I took the 1st bottle back to the pharmacy and the next bottle I received was empty as well. I got 2 whole drops out of it!!
